Dear all,
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has registered for FONETIK 2025 and/or contributed a submission! We're currently putting together an exciting conference program and proceedings volume, and we’re very much looking forward to seeing everything come to life in just a few weeks.
A quick update:
It is still possible to register for the conference (though submissions are now closed). However, as of today, registration for the conference dinner (Day 2, Thursday) is closed.
We faced some challenges securing a venue for the dinner. Initially, it seemed that our preferred choice – PM & Vänner (yes, the one with the Michelin star!) – was unavailable. But thanks to a slightly lower-than-expected number of participants (which we now view as an opportunity for a cozier yet equally dynamic event), we reached out to the restaurant again with a revised headcount. Good news: it looks like we’ll be able to hold the dinner there after all!
Because of this, we can’t accommodate too many more attendees for the dinner. Therefore, if you register from today onward, you will be placed on a waiting list for the dinner. There’s still a chance we can fit you in, and we’ll contact you directly if a spot becomes available—but no guarantees.
That said, registration still includes access to the following social events:
* Welcome reception with buffet, held at the beautiful Teleborgs Slott – a castle located right on campus! (https://teleborgsslott.com/)
* Lunch on Day 2
If you're still considering joining us, don't wait too long—we'd love to see you there!
Warm regards,
Gilbert, Federica, Nate
